So, You're Possessed! Discussion

Just an early progress report! We’ve had a lot of people wondering (not pestering at all!! just general curiosity, mostly through other venues) when they will get to continue the story, and while there are few concrete facts, we do have some info we can share.

You’ve spoken, we’ve listened: as of the release of SYP, the sequel was already in progress, albeit in very rough outline form. We will continue to update the OP on this thread with bigfixes and links to important posts on our FB fan page, at least until we have enough of a game completed to give it its own thread, perhaps. In addition to all the extra things we’ve posted online, we’re excited to share some progress on the sequel, for those who are curious. Here be spoilers (kinda? not really, but I will hide them just in case)!

1.) It has an official name (which is probably only impressive if you are one of the few people who know how many, many different working titles we went through before we finally settled on “So, You’re Possessed!”, which was a change that occurred after the the game was first submitted to HG :sweat_smile: ).
2.) Chapter 1 is nearly done. It is already longer than the first chapter of SYP, which we hope will translate into a sequel that is at least twice as long overall.
3.) More choices, wider branching of story, and, as we promised already, greater impact from the choices you make!!!
4.) More than one romance option! As of right now, we can confirm at least two more, but that may not be the final count. As with the last game, we are striving not to cram them down anyone’s throats and provide a fully satisfying story, even if you avoid any hint of romance.
5.) Adding extra details for those who complete SYP and upload a saved game, as opposed to only playing a “new” character starting in the sequel. Not so much that new players would feel deprived, but more like a few, little treats for people who are sticking with us from the beginning.
6.) We do not yet have an estimated time frame in which it will be completed/submitted, but we are working very hard, we promise! We will continue posting short stories that provide backstory, as well as connect the first and second games, so I suggest checking those out if you want a little extra info until then.

Is there something (or someone) you would like to hear more about in the next game? Please continue to give us your comments, concerns, questions, suggestions, fan art, etc. etc. as they arise. Thanks again to everyone who has already encouraged us or provided constructive feedback. It has all been motivating and appreciated!
